on sale in my local o2 store today. Had a look at one and well impressed. Wasn't even considering this handset but once you see one in the metal it's hard not to be impressed. £99.99 on £35 a month handset is a bit steep but o2 are charging this for the C905 which is available free from independent retailers with cash back.

Saw it at my O2 conference. Absolutely loved it. Feels expensive and robust in your hand. You can navigate via touchscreen, stylus, thumb buttons or the optical roller. The different screen layouts you can have are fantastic.

I like the pointless but fun little touches like the fish that swim around the screen. When your battery is getting low one turns grey and when you receive a text another fish arrives. You can also fed them etc. Like I say pointless but fun.

The keyboard feels really solid and looks swish. I really couldnt fault this phone. Has everything I need. Im not an iPhone fan. Whatsoever. So if you the same take a look at this.
